30 year old Rebecca is a new Mum, wife and in full time work. That sounds like the tough role of many women today, but to add to the list, Hon Rebecca Buttigieg is a member of parliament responsible for Equality and Reform.
In this very candid and open interview, Host Trudy Kerr and guest Rebecca Buttigieg discuss the role of Parliamentary Secretariat, the purpose of Equality and Reform, but also take a deep dive into the life as a woman in Parliament.
Rebecca shares her passion for the job, but the challenges of being a woman and bringing up a family in an environment not geared up for catering for childcare or accommodating a woman’s perspective.
Rebecca also addresses what she believes are the biggest challenges facing women today both in the world, and in Malta. The two women discuss how we need to protect our young women, dealing with the ongoing horrors of domestic abuse, how we can empower women to be all they can be, and why we need more women involved in the decisions influencing politics, our country and our culture.
Tune in to this power-packed interview and be surprised, empowered and inspired.
